Royal High School (RHS) is one of two major public high schools in Simi Valley, California. Royal is part of the Simi Valley Unified School District and is located on Simi Valley's west side. Other district high schools include Simi Valley High School, Santa Susana High School, and Apollo High School (a continuation school). The two main high schools, Royal and Simi, are rivals and always have huge turnouts for their yearly "Simi Royal" football game. Royal High School is a California Distinguished School and the recipient of a Digital High School Technology Grant. Royal's school colors are green and gold, and their mascot is the Highlander.
